    A+ highly recommend

    Great day out. Well organised and interesting. Angie our tour guide made us feel very welcome and made sure our experience was the same quality, despite being the only English speakers in our group. She was very passionate and knowledgeable about the area, explaining the history in an engaging manner. Much better than another tour we had done in Salta with another tour provider.

    Salta Now Lives in My Heart (Shoutout to Angie)

    This Cafayate tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Argentina. I was the only North American on the bus, but Angie, our guide, made sure I felt included—giving the tour in Spanish, then repeating it all in English just for me. Her warmth and passion made the experience unforgettable. To be fair, I’m not entirely clueless when it comes to Spanish. My ancestors spoke it, I watch a lot of Spanish films, and one of my close friends keeps me supplied with Spanish memes—so I could follow along with a good chunk of the commentary, even the jokes. A fun surprise: we even drove by the iconic bridge from the film Wild Tales—a movie I saw a decade ago and had forgotten was Argentinian. The burnt-out car is still there! This trip to Argentina has been incredible. The people, the landscapes, the food, the culture—it’s all left a mark on me. I’ll be talking about Salta and this tour for years to come.

    Great tour to visit Argentina's "Grand Canyon"

    If you're visiting Salta, this is a must-do day tour. The service is excellent. As the only non-Spanish speaker, my guide made sure to explain everything to me privately while the rest of the group enjoyed the Spanish commentary. She also showcased traditional Salta costumes and played the local recorder.

    No wine tasting, no refund offered, 6.5 hours of driving

    There was no wine tasting, and the company did not tell us until 10 minutes before we arrived at the vineyard. No refund offered and they could have told us in advance. The drive is really long and whilst scenic, it’s too far to go in a single day (6.5 hours in the bus)

    Excellent tour!!

    An excellent tour. Our guide (Jazmin? of Nordic Travel) was very professional, knowledgeable, and entertaining. It is a long drive from Salta, but there were enough stops with breaks and photo opportunities to shorten the trip. The views are were amazing! We also had a short, but interesting, visit to the Bodega Tierra Colorada. Exceptional wines!

    Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salta.

    How much does Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine cost?

    +

    Prices start at $32 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine take?

    +

    Plan for about 14 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salta is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 357 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine?

    +

    Around 125 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salta and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Salta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Salta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Salinas Grandes and Purmamarca, Tour Cafayate From Salta, Tour to Cachi from Salta. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Salta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Salta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine?

    +

    Included: National Park fees; All taxes, fees and handling charges; Wine tasting; and Local taxes. Not included: Excess luggage charges (where applicable); Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 56 listed pickup locations in and around Salta. Be ready about 40 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine offered in?

    +

    Is Full-Day Tour Cafayate Calchaqui Valleys with Wine wheelchair or stroller accessible?
